  1. Sometime it would be nice if you could show the difference between “pensar” and “creer”. Many times people use “pensar” (“to think” in English) when they should be using “creer” (“to believe” in English) when speaking Spanish as in the common phrase “Cómo crees?” meaning “What are you thinking?” or in essence “What’s the matter with your thinking?” (How silly of you!). “Creer” is also used to say “I think so” as in “Creo que sí” or “I don’t think so” as in “Creo que no”.

  2. Gracias Bob.
    That will have to be one of those more ‘advanced’ videos for really fine-tuning your Spanish. 🙂

    Creo que (I believe) the difference in meaning is much more nuanced.
    From what I’ve read, ‘creo que’ is more of an opinion that you’re not as sure about while ‘pienso que’ is something your more sure about.

    Spanish speakers do also say: ‘Pienso que sí’ or ‘Pienso que no’ for ‘I think so’ & ‘I don’t think so’.

  3. Me ha encantado la idea, me pareces un tío genial. Fijate que yo soy profe de inglés en España y estoy bajándome tus videos para intentar enseñarles inglés a mis alumnos. Me haría mucha ilusión que me respondieras. Un cordial saludo y sigue así eres “mu salao”.

  4. i dont understand exactly that you have given us “creer” is means think and also “creer” is means believe,too. Think and believe words are not exactly same word(the means are different each other)As I learned “think is pensar”, “believe is creer”…….Is there any wrong thing please let us know Sr. J….

  5. i am waiting my answer Mr Jordan and if you’ll answer it,i will be happy.Thanks for yuor interest.

  6. Hola Señor Jordan!

    My students love you so much and they absolutely love your videos. This truly is a special class because their eyes are like hawks. So, in this video (ER/IR verbs) they noticed in the yellow banner (when explaining about verbs in Spain) that it says, “ithe.” They were so excited to let you know because they pride themselves on being my best class! We really are thankful for all of your hard work and videos. They told me to put this: #fav#students#señorjordanrocks
